  1. A 36 km
  2. B 54 km
  3. C 108 km
  4. D 72 km
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 108 km

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( d = \sqrt{2Rh_1} + \sqrt{2Rh_2} \) \( d = \sqrt{2 \times 6400 \text{ km} \times 0.1 \text{ km}} + \sqrt{2 \times 6400 \text{ km} \times 0.4 \text{ km}} \) \( d = \sqrt{1280} + \sqrt{5120} = 8\sqrt{20} + 16\sqrt{20} = 24\sqrt{20} \) \( d = 24 \times 4.5 = 108 \text{ km} \)
